What employers look forFrom the Yacht New Build Project Manager guide
Owner's representative firms, management companies and some shipyards hire for this role. Yards want someone who understands production. Owners want someone who will protect their interests without souring the relationship with the yard. The usual candidates are chief engineers with a Y1 or Y2 and a couple of builds behind them, captains who have stood by a build, and naval architects or marine engineers from yard project offices. Pay is a day rate or a salary plus site allowance. Expect to live near the yard for long stretches.
